• "Outstanding experience!! Proper food and excellent service."
• "We were looked after by Frank during our visit. He was excellent at managing dietary requirements on our table."

Cons:

• "However, there felt a general lack of either the staff or attention as once the food is ordered, it was very hard to get any attention from any staff."
• "The only thing we weren't very pleased about was the staff coordination."
• "We didn't mind the wait but the queuing system needs a bit of work."
• "Orders took really long, it required three friendly requests and 25 minutes (!) until the rice for one of our main courses arrived - but no spoons (!)."
• "Service was good as well but definitely pricey for the small portions."
• "The service was a bit of a letdown but I think it was an exceptionally busy night."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was beautifully cooked and tasted beautiful."
• "The food is just superb. Excellent and it was really really tasty."
• "We also ordered shrimp masala, which was tasty, though I expected it to be better."
• "Landmark spot for some incredible Indian food! Each dish we had was better than the last."
• "It's the third time I'm eating here. The food was great, amazing flavours combined perfectly."
• "Best chili chicken in the UK if you are craving for Indo-Chinese-esque flavors."
• "Served was attentive and atmosphere was really nice. Overall, decent food, overpriced."
• "Absolutely amazing. I’ve never tried Indian food before, despite living in London for so long."

Cons:

• "The space between each table was so tight that you would barely have any space to manoeuvre between two tables."
• "Overall, the flavors were not memorable."
• "The chicken biryani was overcooked and lacked the traditional fried onions."
• "The famous black daal is just a normal daal with more cream/ghee."
• "The portion are a little small, but great tasting. Dishes don't come with rice or bread and you need to order them separately."
• "Had to wait one hour for a table, so I expected the food to bang. It did not."
• "The food is average, other than the broccoli salad, which was not good at all."
• "The food was average, other than the murgh malai chicken. The sheekh kababs were too oily, and the mango lassi was disappointingly watery."
